I dont know, I really hate dumping big $$ mods in these cars that Im probably not going to remove. Im not really in the position to R&R 4 strut assemblies my self. I dont race and usually dont keep the cars more than 3 years. Things like exhaust or tunes, DSC are 1 thing, big wrenching things are usually a no for me.
Lowering a car is definitely opening a can of worms. You not only lose shock travel and ground clearance, but you throw off things like roll center, which may actually make the car more prone to roll in turns than at a higher ride height. To adjust all the bad stuff out, you'd need new control arms/linkages and bushings, and someone good to adjust them. It gets complicated quick. I lowered my former E92 M3 on motorsport coilovers. It looked great, but took a long time to dial out all the negative consequences until I could get the car to handle properly on track. For those reasons, I'm leaving the ride height alone on the 991 Turbo and am embracing the urban safari look. I am toying with the idea of the Tractive DDA coilovers, but if I go that route, I'll keep them at OE ride height, save any minor tweaks to corner balance the car. Maybe I'm getting old, but I actually don't mind the look of the car at factory height.
I have eibach with my stock shocks... Because of my 21's all around... it gets rough every so often... I do love the look, but in sport mode, I feel the road more than I want to... sport plus is like a go cart. I thought about coilovers, but really wanted to keep the stock system as much as possible, by just going with little lower stance.
I just changed my springs from H&R to Eibach in order to put a few worms back into the can, and I'm really happy with the new setup. I have 21" wheels, and I didn't have enough clearance to properly adjust the camber, so the insides of my tires were getting smoked. It raised the car up just enough, so the stance is still great, and the ride is noticeably smoother. I ordered a DSC a couple of weeks ago, but they're on back order, so I'm stuck waiting. I should be used to the Eibachs by the time it comes in, so I'm excited to see how the box changes the handling.

They'll settle in a few weeks and it'll feel like H&R's all over again I think 21's all around on our cars are just a bad way to go about this. But that's just been my experience.
